Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I become the lowest of the low, the very lowest, and offer my prayer gently.
I would gladly wash the feet of the saints. I set down my pride, and I blend right into the Sangat.
Making yourself small is how you grow.
Neech tay neech at neech means "lowest of the low, the very lowest." It sounds harsh, but it is not putting yourself down. It is humility you choose. Think of a new player on a team who is happy to carry the water bottles and learn from everyone.
Paav malovaa — I would wash their feet. Aap ti-aag — I set down my pride. Satsang samaava-o — and I blend into the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One.
Letting go of the need to be special is how you come to belong.
Does it feel freeing to not have to be the best at everything?
